From John Wilson McBride:
I am descended from Cork McBrides. My father, James Tait McBride was born 1897 in the City of Cork (Victoria Road). His father, John McBride immigrated to Cork from Scotland. A Presbyterian, he married Jessie Tait in September 1893 at Midleton Co. Cork. Jessie Tait lived at a farm called The Hermitage which still exists and has Tait descendants in residence.
John and Jessie has two sons, William (my uncle Bill) and James (my father). I am currently in Cork obtaining necessary information to become Irish citizenship. My parents emigrated to England. My dad was in the Royal Airforce, stationed at RAF ran well, Lincolnshire where I was born in 1948.
